Abstract
A method for controlling an autonomous vehicle includes collecting data about a surrounding of the autonomous vehicle, the data including global information of where the autonomous vehicle is positioned; deriving, at least in part based on the collected data, a perceived environment based on localizing the global information; determining a driving condition of the autonomous vehicle based on the perceived environment; modifying, according to the determined driving condition, a first configuration parameter of a sensor to adjust an amount of output data from the sensor; and simultaneously adjusting, according to the determined driving condition, a second configuration parameter for processing the output data to allow consistent data capturing and processing of the output data. A control system can employ such a method, and an autonomous vehicle can utilize such a control system.
